ATP Miami Day 6: Zverev Battles Cilic in Expert Predictions
Day 6 at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Miami wraps up the round of 32. Play could be affected by rain. The schedule still features several high-profile names.
Daniil Medvedev arrives after a run to the Indian Wells final. He is also the 2023 Miami champion. Alexander Zverev remains a focal point as well. Zverev is the world number four and was a Miami finalist in 2018.
Match previews and outlook
Alejandro Tabilo vs Alex Michelsen
These two meet for the first time in their careers. They sit just one ranking spot apart. Tabilo produced a shock win over Andrey Rublev earlier this week.
Michelsen looks more at ease on this surface. That comfort could decide a close encounter. Pick: Michelsen in three sets.
Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Terence Atmane
This is also a debut meeting between the pair. Atmane has collected a few wins in Miami. Auger-Aliassime remains a top-10 player but shows inconsistency.
If the Canadian finds his best level, he should overpower Atmane. Expect a straight-sets win for Auger-Aliassime.
Francisco Cerundolo vs Daniil Medvedev
Medvedev and Cerundolo face off for the first time. Medvedev reached the Indian Wells final recently. He had a shaky opening match here versus Rei Sakamoto.
The Russian steadied his game and looks set for a deep Miami run. Expect Medvedev to advance in two sets.
Alexander Zverev vs Marin Cilic
Head-to-head history favors Zverev, who leads 7-1. Cilic has shown impressive form in 2026, considering his age. Still, he has struggled against Zverev throughout their rivalry.
Zverev’s consistency and recent form should carry him through. Pick: Zverev in two sets.
What to watch
